A clip of Umar answering a question about Kevin Samuels. Not surprised at his stance on this one. I actually think a debate between them two would've been wildly entertaining.
He's probably right about why some black women were supporters of Kevin Samuels. He does seem to be taking some things out of context though. I was never a KS fan, but from what I saw, he was never telling women that they were too fat, too ugly, or too broke (to my recollection he never talked about women's finances much because men don't typically care about that). He told women that they didn't have the traits necessary to get the men they wanted. KS's delivery might not have always been the best, but he wasn't wrong to tell 5s that they were delusional for thinking they deserved a 10.
Wasnt this nigga just giving out "lashes" to other black men?
If you're calling somebody a "5" and saying they're delusional for wanting a "10" then yeah you are saying they're too ugly, broke or too something negative to desire what they're wanting.
No, you're throwing that terminology in there. I wouldn't even use the word ugly in response to a 5 or a 6 and I don't think Kevin did either. He was just saying that people need to know what they offer and be reasonable about their expectations from others. You can want what you want, but you are delusional if you someone that has a ton of baggage, isn't making much money, has average looks, and doesn't have much to offer in a relationship but believe you deserve a partner that is bringing everything to the table.
KS used the word average a lot when talking to the older women with kids that was looking for a extremely rare man in a certain tax bracket and why most men wouldn’t settle for a woman.No, you're throwing that terminology in there.

You just repeated what I said but you don't like the word "ugly". You're still saying somebody is too much of something to desire what they want realistically. Even if you don't use the word ugly you're saying the same thing.
Lol The words used matter. "Ugly" is unequivocally an insult. Saying someone doesn't measure to a certain standard isn't necessarily an insult. Let's think about it in terms of money since that's quantitative. KD wasn't calling chicks broke just because he told them that they were delusional to be making 30K but saying they deserved a man that makes 300K without bringing anything else to the table to offset that difference. That's not an insult. It's just reality.
Bruh when somebody calls someone a 5 we all know you aint talking about their personality or bank account. That's specifically about their looks. So when you say somebody who is a 5 wants a 10 you're saying they're not attractive enough. That's pretty cut and dry.
Bruh, that was just an example. It was never as cut and dry as that. He would have chicks on there that had average looks, multiple kids by multiple baby daddies, and who refused to do things like cook and clean and believed they deserved men who ranked in like the top 20% of all men. KS was an asshole with how he delivered his message, but he wasn't wrong to tell chicks that they needed to be honest with themselves about what they brought to the table before they started piling on high level qualities that a man has to have.

I know it was an example but if that's one you choose to use to make the point that he didn't insult people then that's not a good example. Calling somebody mid ain't a compliment
5 means average. That’s not an insult
Also when he’s talking to women that’s average they are older and have kids and want things in a husband that’s highly unlikely
He just tell folks to be realistic and y’all think that’s a bad thing which is comical to me.
